Chapter 1499: Reality is more cruel than imagined
"Hey, what's wrong with you demons? After preparing for so long, you can't even get anything done properly. How shameful!"
…
"You and I have a connection. I have a message for you. When I first came here, I ran into Yu Honglan, the most ferocious woman in the Qingxuan Sect. Her sword was covered in blood, and the ground was littered with the corpses of your demons wherever she passed. She is as hateful as Ye Linglong. I know where she is. How about I take you to kill her?"
!!!
"You gossipy bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
"No, brother, are you crazy? You and I are in the same group! I'll be the spy, and I can lead the way to whoever you want to kill! If you don't want to kill women, you can kill Pei Luobai, Shen Lixian, and Gu Linyuan! They just killed a lot of demons! Wow! Do you want to kill those two immortals? No problem, I'll take you there."
"I'll kill you, you piss-me-off!"
"Kill me?" As Long Ears ran, Fat Head turned around and made a face and said with a smile: "You two short legs? It's so funny! If you can't catch up with me, I'm your dad!"
…
Seeing the cheap fruit being taken into the woods by the rabbit and disappearing without a trace, the demons' mentality suddenly collapsed.
In mid-air, the demon frantically tried to shake off Zhaocai and look for other targets, but Zhaocai was very strong and difficult to deal with. After a sword chopped it off, its arm was broken, but it was able to pick it up and reattach it.
After the connection, it tilted its head down to show him, reminding him that this trick didn't work and he had to think of other ways.
Really, thank you for it.
He was very entangled here, and while he was fighting, he noticed someone approaching.
Looking back, he saw that it was a wounded human disciple. Before he could be happy, a voice suddenly came from another direction. It was a demon disciple.
Before he could react, another ghost disciple appeared.
Then more and more people approached this side, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to be surrounded.
"What's going on? Do we have to gather here just to kill this demon?" Yu Hongwen, who had come over, was shocked and said, "I can do this little thing easily. Everyone, get out of the way, let me do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked the demon. The demon wanted to run away, but was entangled by Zhaocai and could not escape in the first time, and was caught in a one-on-two situation.
As a result, he was defeated by Yu Hongwen's sword before he could last more than a few moves. Seeing that he was at his wit's end, he was ready to self-destruct. However, as soon as he started to use his magic power, he felt a sharp pain in his body and all his strength leaked out.
Before he died, he looked back and realized that he had been torn to pieces by the Ghost King.
Soon, more and more people gathered here. The three immortal tribes were all present, and the human, demon, and ghost tribes also gathered here one after another. Only the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect were nowhere to be seen.
"Everyone okay?"
"We fell into the demons' trap! After we were separated, they wanted to kill us one by one!"
"It's fine now. We're all gathered together. We're not afraid when we're together. Where are the Qingxuan Sect disciples? Why didn't they come when Miss Ye called us to gather?"
Just when everyone was puzzled, a seriously injured human disciple said, "Based on my understanding of them, they should be killing demons everywhere now."
Hearing this, the three immortals were shocked.
"Then why did she call us to gather?"
"If we don't gather, won't we all be killed one by one?"
"But if they don't come, it will be dangerous for you to get together."
"Aren't you still here? You will definitely come over obediently."
…
The three immortals' heads buzzed.
Although this is true, I still feel like something is not right.
Only then did they realize that not only did no one from the Qingxuan Sect come, but also Su Yunxiu and several others with higher cultivation levels from the demon race, and none of those from the human race who were in the Tribulation Crossing period came either. It seemed as if they had reached a strange tacit understanding and were all still happily killing demons everywhere.
Therefore, among those with high cultivation, there are really only three of them.
"Now that we are gathered together, let's not disperse. Those who are seriously injured should stay here to rest and heal, as the Immortal Lord will protect you. Those who are less injured can follow me and Immortal Lord Zhao to kill the demons." Pan Chengwan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Hongwen's eyes widened. Before he could say anything, Zhao Qingfu said crisply, "Now, those who can get up, get up immediately and fight with us."
Soon, Pan Chengwan and Zhao Qingfu led their men to set out again, and Yu Hongwen had to stay where he was to help everyone heal their injuries and keep everyone safe.
Although there was nothing wrong with the decision, he always felt that something was really wrong.
Time passed quickly, and five days later, the eighth statue space finally disappeared, and all of them were moved out.
When they landed back in the Demon Village, everyone gathered together.
When they landed, the wounded who were resting on the spot looked up and saw the blood-stained swords in the hands of the disciples who went to slay the demons. It was immediately clear how fierce the fight was.
"Are you all okay?" Yu Hongwen, who stayed behind, came forward and asked.
"We're fine."
Ye Linglong recited a cleansing spell, cleaned himself, then looked up at the wounded who stayed behind, and the disciples who set out again to slay the demons.
Seeing everyone covered in wounds, pale, and in such a miserable state, she couldn't help but frown.
"Have you taken a head count? How much have we lost?"
Yu Hongwen sighed with a unhappy look on his face.
"When you went to kill the demons, I took a count and found that there were more than 500 people who had no news, accounting for one tenth of our total number. More than 1,000 people were seriously injured, and some were slightly injured... I think everyone was injured, right?"
After he said this, the atmosphere in the entire team suddenly dropped.
I expected there would be casualties, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly.
Before this, they thought they were going to go down to the Eighth Netherworld to have an open fight with the demons, but they didn't expect to be ambushed first.
"We thought this time the breakthrough would be as smooth as the previous one, but we were careless after all."
"There will be more such situations in the future." Ye Linglong said: "Reality will be more cruel than we think."
Having said that, she pointed forward.
"Look over there."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction Ye Linglong pointed.
When they saw the scene over there, everyone was stunned for the first moment, and it took several seconds before they began to gasp.
"This... this..."
As far as they could see, the Demon-Suppressing Village was still in front of them, and in the village stood countless blue dragon statues, all exactly the same!
All the statues looked towards them, looking down from above with strange expressions, bringing with them lingering shock and a strong sense of oppression!
